Faces of Stroke

Flannery will never forget May 13, 2015 when she experienced a stroke during a camping trip to Utah with her classmates.

“I felt the most severe pain I can imagine on the right side of my head,” she recalls. “I thought someone had hit me in the head with a newly-sharpened ax.”

Chaperones recognized she was in trouble when she couldn’t stand and rushed her to a clinic in Moab where a CT scan revealed a stroke. She was airlifted to the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City. She was hospitalized for more than a month and had to learn to walk, eat and use her left side again.

The National Stroke Association today announced a partnership with RapidSOS, an advanced emergency technology start-up revolutionizing personal safety and family connectivity. The partnership will offer free access to the RapidSOS Haven app for one year, providing individuals with enhanced access to emergency services.

There was a 44% spike in the number of young Americans hospitalized due to stroke in the last decade. A video, Young Stroke: An Unexpected Reality, and other free resources offer insight and raise awareness during National Stroke Awareness Month.
